[PS4] have you found a cipher or any dust?

imnotanother · December 2016

I haven't farmed for a long time, yet, but I have not come across any dust or a cipher. I thought with the amount of nodes I have harvested that one drop of dust would appear.

Has anyone on PS4 had any luck? Any drops since the New Life Festival release?

Nope, been travelling around and knocked off a dozen or more world bosses and about the same number of dolmens, harvesting stuff as I go and nothing.

I have read the cypher is rarer than the Imperial motif and I found that 12 months after starting to play, so I might have a while to wait yet.

16000 or more of plants cloth and all nodes nothing not a single dust

Been playing since console's launch and have yet to find an Imperial motif. Know a few who have found multiples.

Anyone?
I have seen the Dust being linked in zone chat. I have a guild leader who is selling the potions but I want to hear someone who actually found one in the field.

I have been farming nodes all the time in the required areas on multiple characters. I have even been going out of my way to do the mages and undaunted daily delve quests because those are in areas that have the nodes so I can get some xp, some coffers, and mats. I have NOT seen one dust.

I am not carrying with me a recipe or xp potion in my inventory... Any feedback as to if this increases your chances?

Totally crazy.

Same. Been playing on XB1 since launch and not a single Imperial motif. Won't hold my breath for finding any dust or ciphers either.

Found a dust a little over a week ago, got it from a rune node

A rune? Really?

Didn't think they dropped from anything but wood, cloth, ore, water, and alchemy.

N0TPLAYER2 · December 2016

I see dust linked often on Xbox 1

I haven't found either. And I've been farming collectibles too so tens of thousands of kills. No cypher. No dust.

I've heard of someone getting cypher in wayrest sewers from a Skelton. If that helps at all.

Aetheric items don't drop in Craglorn or in runes. Nirncrux drops in Craglorn on any material resource.

Nirncrux only drops from wood metal and cloth nodes in Craglorn. Aetheric drops in any non DLC zone including Craglorn.

Found two dust on PS4 NA. But they're only worth 200k. So it's whatever

schwarzman1 · January 2017

so the dust is an ingredient meaning you will need multiple to craft more than 4 xp potions?

Lord_Eomer · January 2017

Tried farming till 2 weeks after release but have not found, give up and not wanted anymore..

It does not have to be super rare..

Correct. 1 Dust + 1 original ambrosia = 4 Aetherial Ambrosia (assuming you have the skill points invested to get 4 drinks on every craft)

Found one dust from a resource on Betnik while doing the celebration event PS4 NA

Mettaricana · January 2017

Zero kill and harvest every enemy and node I have found neither

imnotanother · January 2017

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I agree, as well, that these items shouldn't be super rare.

Found Aetheric Dust in Rivenspire on cloth node. PC/NA. 3 days ago

LadyLethalla · January 2017

Have never found Dust, Cipher or Imperial motif; been playing since launch.

redspecter23 · January 2017

Found my first dust on an enchant node on Stros M'kai two days ago. I still don't personally know anyone that has pulled a cipher yet. It's quite possibly 1:1000000 or less. The dust feels like about 1:10000. PC/NA
